What cold?

On today's run I really vented my frustration, having not been able to run properly for a good couple of weeks. I set out at a steady pace, averaging around 7m 15s / mile but got progressively quicker, averaging about 6m 40s / mile over the last 4 miles or so. The whole 9 miles took me 63 minutes and I felt like I could keep going. It felt good managing that kind of pace - I was worried my fitness might have been knocked back a peg. The half marathon is a week today, so I'm hoping I'll get down towards 90 minutes. That would feel like an achievement all things considered.
